Early Cinema in Russia and its Cultural Reception
by Yuri Tsivian
Tsivian had this idea to try to reconstruct the history of early Russian cinema, and to approach it through a deeply contextual history. I do regularly urge people to read it who have no interest in early Russian cinema at all, because it gives them tools to understand cinema in a way that nothing else I know does.
